文化的理解(6/6)

In summary,today's lecture is centered on the stages in the groth of cultural consciousness. Altogether there are five: 1. No understanding—means one does not know anyone from the culture,knows few,if any,facts. 2. Superficial understanding—means one knows some superficial facts and stereotypes. 3. Growing understanding and possible conflict—means one is aware of more subtle traits but may experience cultural conflicts;probably believe one's own culture is superior. 4. Greater intellectual understanding—means one understands the culture intellectually but not emotionally. 5. True empathy and respect—measn one understands the culture both intellectually and emotionally;can feel what the people in the culture feel. Hope the lecture will be helpful in your nurturing of cultural awareness. Thanks for your patience.
